By applying the ritual theories of Ronald Grimes, Christine Bell, and Victor Turner, the musicals are viewed from the perspective of ri
Youth unemployment and the transition from school to work remain pressing issues in Sweden, despite rising educational levels among young adults. This study explores how young people aged 18-24 with an upper secondary degree and limited work experience perceive their entry into the labour market. What factors shape their chances of being seen as attractive candidates, and how HR-related profession
This paper examines Pixar Animation Studios’ movies Ratatouille (2007), WALL-E (2008), and Soul (2020) to explore whether and how they sacralize ordinary actions, thereby transforming films into places of ritualistic meaning-making. Using ritual theory (Grimes, Bell, Turner), Paul Schrader’s transcendental style, and the framework of cine-ritualism, the study explores how audio-visual strategies c
Självkonkordansmodellen (The Self-Concordance Model) postulerar att autonom målsättning är en primär drivkraft för välbefinnande. Standardiserade mätmetoder sammanblandar dock ofta närvaron av autonomi med frånvaron av yttre press genom användandet av 'relativa' differenspoäng. Denna studie använde ett aggregerat dataset (N = 429) för att systematiskt pröva två konkurrerande modeller: en BThe Self-Concordance Model posits that autonomous goal pursuit is a primary driver of well-being, yet standard measurement practices often conflate the presence of autonomy with the absence of external pressure via 'relative' difference scores. This study utilized a high-powered dataset (N = 429) to systematically test between a Balance Model (where meaning arises from the net difference b
Interactions between light and matter is one way to study both particles whose small spatial sizes render them irresolvable to our eyes and events where the characteristic time scale is too short for conventional recording and measurement techniques. The advent of free electron lasers allow laser pulses of high intensity and small temporal duration such that ultra-fast dynamics in matter systems a
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skillnader i studenters alkoholkultur och uppfattningar om förekomsten av illegala droger i relation till studieort, termin och ålder. Resultaten fokuserar på alkoholkonsumtion, deltagande i alkoholrelaterade studentaktiviteter, studenternas upplevda sociala press, den upplevda acceptansen av att avstå från alkohol samt uppfattningar om förekomsten och norThe aim of this study was to examine differences in student alcohol culture and perceptions of the presence of illegal drugs in relation to study location, term and age.

Bakgrund: Rakelkommunikation sker vid samtliga samverkansärenden mellan ambulans, polis och räddningstjänst. Kommunikationen ska hållas kort och koncis och kan upplevas som svårt för personer som inte har pratat i radio tidigare. God kommunikation är en avgörande faktor för insatsens utfall där avsaknad av kommunikation snabbt leder till ett okoordinerat arbetssätt och en lågkvalitativ vård där pa
Denna uppsats undersöker gränsdragningsproblematiken mellan inkomstslaget tjänst och näringsverksamhet vid utövandet av hobbyverksamhet. Med hjälp av den rättsdogmatiska metoden har lagtext, förarbeten, rättspraxis och doktrin undersökts för att fastställa gällande rätt. Gränsen för när en verksamhet klassificeras som hobby respektive näringsverksamhet är i många fall svår att avgöra. Huruvida en This thesis examines the difficulties in delineating between the income categories of employment income and business income in the exercise of a hobby. Using the legal method, statutory provisions, preparatory works, case law, and legal doctrine have been analysed in order to determine the current state of the law. In many cases, the distinction between an activity classified as a hobby and one cl
Organisatoriska förändringar är ofta förknippade med ökade krav och osäkerhet, vilket ställer höga krav på individers psykologiska resurser. I kontexter präglade av förändring framstår change efficacy, individers tilltro till individuell och kollektiv förmåga att bidra till och hantera organisatorisk förändring, som en central komponent i förändringsberedskap. Samtidigt finns ett behov av fördjupaOrganizational change is often associated with increased demands and uncertainty, placing substantial strain on individuals’ psychological resources. In such contexts, change efficacy, defined as individuals’ confidence in their individual and the collective ability to contribute to and cope with organizational change, constitutes a key component of change readiness. However, there is a need for g
Denna uppsats är en arbetsrättslig kandidatuppsats som undersöker arbetstagares rätt till föräldraledighet i Sverige. Analysen har fokus på två aspekter av föräldraledighet, för det första, att analysera de olika typer av föräldraledighet som är tillgängliga för föräldrar och för det andra föräldrars rätt till skydd mot missgynnande till följd av att de tagit ut föräldraledighet. Forskningsfrågan This essay falls under the subject of labor law and examines the employees right to parental leave in Sweden. The analysis has two focal points, firstly, to analyze the different kinds of parental leaves that parents can utilize and secondly, the parents right to protection against discrimination as a result of having taken parental leave. The research question of this essay reads as follows “To w
Despite the need for bold rapid action when it comes to the climate emergency, the transition to a sustainable society is slower than desired, and disagreements on what actually matters within environmental action stunt progress. In an ever more complex society, where every day – seemingly innocent - acts such as lighting a tea-light has a negative environmental impact, it is increasingly difficul
The aim of this study was to examine how professionals within social work reasoned about the current public debate, which increasingly focused on criminal justice measures to address youth crime.

Stock analysts have a great influence on how investors choose to invest their money and which companies that will receive a share of the ever-growing amount of money that Swedish households choose to invest in stocks. With the influence that analysts have on the company inflows and outflows of capital, one can wonder what drives their target prices. This report analyzes which financial variabl
Enligt anställningsskyddslagen krävs sakliga skäl för att en arbetsgivare ska kunna säga upp en arbetstagare. I praktiken har detta i vissa fall lett till att arbetsgivare, i stället för att säga upp en arbetstagare, försöker kringgå kravet genom att förmå arbetstagaren att själv avsluta sin anställning. I dessa fall aktualiseras frågan om provocerade uppsägningar, det vill säga situationer där arAn employer may terminate an employee only on objective grounds. In practice, this requirement has in some cases led employers to seek alternative ways of ending the employment by inducing the employee to resign. Such situations raise the issue of constructive dismissal, referring to cases where the employee has formally ended the employment but where the termination in substance has been brought
This essay examines how Nike uses narrative strategies in its commercials on Instagram to create identification with the recipient. The aim is to analyze how the visual, verbal and emotional interaction in the films contributes to building engaging stories that arouse emotional recognition and convey the brand's values. The study is based on Sonja Foss's model for narrative analysis, which
Denna uppsats syftade till att undersöka sambandet mellan narrativ identitet och studentengagemang, samt relationen till extraversion, öppenhet, autobiografiskt minne och social tillhörighet. Studien utgick teoretiskt ifrån femfaktormodellen, specifikt extraversion och öppenhet, samt social tillhörighet, narrativ identitet och autobiografisk tänkande. Tidigare forskning bidrog med visst underlag fThis essay examined the relationship between narrative identity and student engagement, in addition to the associations with extraversion, openness, autobiographical recollection, and sense of belonging.

Human Resource (HR) professionals are often positioned between organizational management and employees, a role that involves balancing competing expectations, responsibilities, and values. While previous research has highlighted HR’s strategic and administrative functions, less attention has been paid to how HR persons themselves experience and manage this intermediary position in everyday practic
